RADIATOR.'A

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent NO. 677,876, dated July 9,1901.

Application filed June 11,1900.

T) all whom, i! may concern:

Be it known that I, TIMOTHY S. MARTIN, a citizen of the United States,and a resident of Butte, in the county of Silverbow and State ofMontana, have invented new and useful Improvements in Radiators, ofwhich the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to radiators, and has for its object to provide aconstruction which will be simple and reliable, which will require noair-cock on the radiator, and in which provision is made for anautomatic collection and drainage of the condensation-water and for anadjustment of the distance between the two pipes through which steam isadmitted and returned, respectively.

The invention will be fully described hereinafter and the features ofnovelty pointed out inthe appendedclaim.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar characters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the figures. Figure 1 is a sectionalelevation of my improved radiator on the line 1 1 of Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is ahorizontal section on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1. Figs. 3, 4, and 5 arecross-sections on the lines 3 3, 4 4, and 5 5 of Fig. 1. Fig. 6 is adetail showing the means for adjusting the steam-pipe, and Fig. 7 is avertical section on the line 7 7 of Fig. 6.

The improved radiator comprises a casing or box A- of rectangularprismatic shape, having at its top apertures into which fit the ends ofinverted-U-shaped pipes B, of which there are three rows of four each inthe radiator represented in the drawings. In a plane between the membersOf the pipes B transverse vertical partitions C depend from the top ofthe casing A, and the outer portions of said partitions are in contactat the bottom with transverselyinclined partitions D, extendinglengthwise from one partition C to the nextv and meeting at an angle toeach other in the center, as shown best in Fig. 5, so as to form alongitudinal gutter or channel. As will be seen in Fig. 1, thepartitions D are inclined not only transversely but lengthwise from oneend of the casing to the other, and the partitions C are therefore ofincreasing height toward one end of the cas Vcondensation-watercontained therein.

Serial No. 19,883. (No model.)

ing. Adjacent to each partition C a cup or well E of spherical curvatureis provided, the upperv end of each well being flush with the partitionsD, while its lower end is at the bottom of the casing A and is closed bya screw-plug F, so that access may be had to the well for the purpose ofcleaning it when necessary. Each partition C has a central projection C(see Figs. l and 4) extending into the well E and adaptedto dip into theTo each partition C is further secured above the well E, on that sidetoward which the partitions D dip lengthwise, a baffle-cup C2 ofspherical shape and reaching down to within a short distance of theupper edge of the well, thus forming a throat Gr. The last cup C2 of theseries has a lip()3 extending over the edge of the corresponding well E.

The foremost partition D is spaced at one side from the front wallof thecasing A, forming an inlet-opening H, at the rear end of which avertical partition H' extends to the bottoni of the casing, while at theside of said opening is arranged a short longitudinal partition H2,likewise extending to the bottom of the casing. Into this opening orchamber H leads the steam-inlet pipe I, provided with a flange I',having a boss l2. This boss fits into an Oblong hole A' in theradiator-casing, and the flange is fastened to the casing by means oftwo screws J, fitting into transverse slots A2. By this means the flangeI' and the inlet-pipe may be adjusted transversely-that is, toward andfrom the outlet or return pipe K, which is secured to the front end ofthe casing A at the same height as the inlet-pipe I, but on the otherside of the partition H2 and under the partitionv D. By making theinlet-pipe I adjustable the distance between the two pipes I and K maybe varied to cor- The throat G should be of smaller area than theinlet-pipe I, so that the steam when first admitted will drive the aircontained in the radiator before it, and will thus completely lill IOOthe radiator. The steam passes from the inlet I through the opening H upthe first pipe B, then down into the second compartment, and so on,traveling above the partitions D until the rear end of the radiator isreached. The condensation-Water accumulates in the wellsv E, formingWater seals in connection with the projections C of the partitions Q, sothat steam cannot pass through said Wells, but is compelled to travelthrough the pipes B, as indicated by the arrows. The condensation-Waterflows down in the inclined gutters formed` by the partitions D, andfinally passes under the lip C3 of the last cup C2. From that point theWater and Steam flow forward on the bottom of the casing-A, under thepartitions D,

to finally reach the outlet-pipe K.

Having' thus described my invention, I
